MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Video conference between the participants of the Contact Group on Ukrainian reconciliation will be held in the morning on February 17, the negotiator of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic Denis Pushilin said Monday.
"Skype-conference will be held tomorrow at 8.30 a.m. Moscow time [05:30 GMT]. The Ukrainian side has already confirmed its participation in the talks," Pushilin was quoted as saying by the Donetsk News Agency.
On Sunday, a ceasefire between Ukrainian forces and Donbas militia entered into force, as agreed on February 12 at a meeting of German, French, Ukrainian and Russian leaders in Minsk, the capital of Belarus.
The four leaders worked out a peace plan to de-escalate the conflict in southeastern Ukraine, which has claimed lives of more than 5,600 people, according to UN.
Other measures stipulate all-for-all prisoners swap and heavy weaponry pullback from the line of contact.
